This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Nissan dealer.
I have a 2011 nissan pathfinder. Come to find out this morning the dealership says that my transmission needs replacing. Hard to believe but as I do research I see this is a common problem. They wanted to charge 7k for a new transmission but didn't even tell me this was a normal problem. They acted as shocked as I was. They were not very nice when I decided to take it somewhere else. We now are waiting to see what's it's going to cost to repair this thing that could have been prevented.

Nissan sent me to hell with its transmission failure. I just bought a fairly new 2011 pathfinder with only 15000 miles only a week ago, the transmission already failed. Luckily, it is still under 60000 mile warranty but I don't have a car for more than 1 week now. The dealer told me that they are putting a refurbished transmission (hell no) into my car after I paid $20000 for the car a week ago. I feel shock. How could a Japanese car failed at 15k miles. This must be a joke. Nissan really slapped hardly in the face of the Japanese car manufactures. The next car I shop will be a Korean car might be. Please tell other people not to buy Nissan product.

WAS TOLD BY NISSAN THAT COOLANT HAS MIXED WITH TRANSMISSION FLUID. WAS GONNA COST 6,000.00 TO REPAIR. RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THESE TRUCKS. NO RECALLS AT ALL!!! THERE SHOULD BE. UNDER 100,000 MILES THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. NOT ON A NISSAN AT THAT. I HAVE BEEN IN AUTO REPAIR FOR OVER 20YRS AND WOULD EXPECT THIS ON A GM, FORD, OR DODGE BUT NOT A NISSAN. HAVE BEEN TOLD BY 3 DIFFERENT TRANSMISSION SHOPS THAT NISSAN HAS TRIED TO COVER UP THIS ISSUE IN HOPES THAT IT WOULD NOT BECOME A ISSUE WITH CONSUMERS AND BECOME A RECALL. I HAVE ALSO FOUND WHERE SEVERAL HAVE BEEN REPAIRED AT NO CHARGE DUE TO SOME HAVING AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ADDED FROM THE MANUFACTURER. I FEEL THIS IS BS. TRUCK WAS BROUGHT IN FOR A NO START ISSUE WITH THE INTELLIGENT KEYS. DEALER TRIED TO TELL ME THAT WATER IN TRANSMISSION WAS CAUSE OF THE NO START. I HATE TO TELL YA BUT THIS HAS NOTHING DO WITH COOLANT IN A TRANSMISSION CAUSING THE VEHICLE NOT TO START. NISSAN NEEDS TO GET THEIR SH*T TOGETHER!!
